Vienne is an incredible city which is full of ancient historical statues, buildings, and artifacts dating back to Roman times.  The city is also famous for the Jazz a Vienne festival held every July.     

Today, we rode the tourist train all around Vienne to see the most important sights in the city.  We had a very enjoyable time!

It was a lot of fun and a great way to see the city!!!
